Biden officially forms transition team

[RandySF]

(CNN)Joe Biden has officially formed a transition team that will be led by former Delaware Sen. Ted Kaufman, a longtime Biden adviser who also led his transition as vice president in 2008, a Biden campaign aide confirmed to CNN.

This team is a preliminary group that will focus on developing the infrastructure of the transition effort. The full rollout of the team is expected later this fall, the aide said, noting that the timing of today's announcement falls in line with the timeline of past non-incumbent candidates who developed a transition team.

The group includes Yohannes Abraham, a longtime staffer in the Obama White House who will handle the day-to-day operations.

In a statement, Kaufman described the efforts as being in "the very early stages of pre-transition planning."

1. This is important, because they have to hit the ground running in Nov

.. and even more in January. There's going to be a lot of problems to fix fast.

2. They will have their work cut out for them.

They might have to hire a team of exorcists to clear out the evil before they even set foot in the White House.

3. And blacklights

7. Yeah

8. Doubt there is enough sage in the world to smoke out the trump evil spirits.

4. Kick

5. I wouldn't be shocked if the first priority is putting together a public health team.

He's going to need people lined up for the CDC, HHS, and FDA - and not for 1/20/21, but today (even if that means just putting together plans for day 1).

6. What a line up.
